   You can say a lot about Trump, but he will leave a legacy. If anything, he will be remembered as remarkable. Remarkable in the sense that he is worthy of remark, no matter what you think of him. He will also be remembered as the US president who got things done and let everyone know that he did them. Whether they were good or bad things is open to debate, but you can't really claim that Trump is passive and hesitant. Obama? Yeah, he was afraid to act. Too worried about his legacy, probably.

      Someone is probably going to object to this assessment and point out that "Actually, Obama introduced <large number> pieces of legislation only <small figure> months into his presidency, while Trump has only introduced <tiny number> in the last <large figure> months of his." and my response is: Yes, but is that how the public perceives them? Doesn't Obama just *seem* more hesitant than Trump? I mean, he even did it when talking, the constant little moments of hesitation.
